Horseshoe Indianapolis Introduces DRF Formulator Projected Odds Enhancement

Horseshoe Indianapolis is partnering with the Daily Racing Form (DRF) to show a new enhancement to assist the betting public with updated information prior to each race. The new DRF Formulator Projected Odds will be unveiled today, Thursday, Aug. 10, for the second race beginning at 2:40 p.m. ET.

“We are excited to unveil this cutting-edge technology through our partnership with DRF,” said Eric Halstrom, Vice President and General Manager of Racing. “By offering a look at the projected final odds of each horse, our bettors will have a more accurate gauge for each race. We are always listening to our customers, and that is one thing that was expressed frequently. The odds change often, especially when the horses are entering the starting gate and closing in on post time. This technology provides a quality footprint when analyzing races at Horseshoe Indianapolis.”

Horseshoe Indianapolis is the first track to offer the DRF Formulator Projected Odds. The figures are provided on a slide that will be shown twice during each race, with the exception of the first race daily as “Will Pay” data is utilized to form the projected odds.

“We plan to show the figures just before our handicapping segments while the horses are in the paddock prepping for the race,” added Halstrom. “Then, we will come back with the display just after the post parade, which will be a few minutes before the horses enter the starting gate. This should provide players with detailed information while they are making their final decisions on each race.”

The projected odds and tote odds, or current odds, will be supported by the horse number, jockey, and trainer. The innovative slide will also include a scrolling horizontal bar at the bottom showing all the different wagers available for that particular race.

“DRF Formulator is a powerful handicapping tool,” said Richard Rosa, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations for Daily Racing Form. “Working with Horseshoe Indianapolis to bring Projected Odds to their customers is a step forward for the racing industry.”

More information on the DRF Formulator and all supportive statistics and details is available at www.drf.com.

The 21^st season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing extends through Friday, Nov. 17. Live racing is held Tuesday through Thursday with Saturday racing added in during the summer months. First post Tuesday and Wednesday is 2:30 p.m. Thursday and select Friday racing begins at 2:10 p.m. The Summer Saturday Racing Series includes three more all-Quarter Horse dates Aug. 12, Sept. 2, and Oct. 7 beginning at 10:45 a.m. For more information on live racing at Horseshoe Indianapolis, visit www.caesars.com/horseshoe-indianapolis.

Ellis Park: Thoroughbred Aftercare Day Set For Sunday

Six of North America's prominent Thoroughbred aftercare organizations will be featured on-site Sunday as part of Thoroughbred Aftercare Day at Ellis Park Racing & Gaming.

The first of 10 races will get underway at 11:45 a.m. (CDT) and fans will be invited to learn more about Thoroughbred retirement at several booths set up on the concourse by Friends of Ferdinand, New Vocations, Second Stride, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Thoroughbred Charities of America and Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation.

Sunday's card is highlighted by six stakes contests led by the $250,000 Ellis Park Derby (Listed) and $150,000 Groupie Doll Stakes (Listed). The six participating Thoroughbred aftercare organizations will be featured in the Jeff Hall Winner's Circle during the trophy presentations for each stakes race.

There will be several opportunities for racing fans to donate to the participating charities including a special one-of-a-kind Ellis Park Derby Day t-shirt that will be for sale in the Gift Shop and a watermelon stand where proceeds will benefit Thoroughbred aftercare.

During all 10 races, Ellis Park will award a groom the “Best Turned Out Award” for their horse and receive a special prize.

The Jockey Club Registry Issues 100,000th Digital Certificate

On Aug. 8, 2023, The Jockey Club Registry issued its 100,000th digital certificate of foal registration to a gray or roan colt by Tacitus, out of Jibboom by Mizzen Mast. The foal, born on Feb. 10, 2023, was bred and is owned by Juddmonte, which is also the original certificate manager.

“We are pleased that digital certificates have been so well-received,” said Rick Bailey, registrar for The Jockey Club. “Digital certificates have streamlined the registration process and transfer of certificates, certificates can no longer be damaged or lost, and they will help with initiatives such as tracing Thoroughbreds when they leave the racetrack or breeding shed.”

The transition to digital foal certificates from hardcopies began with the 2018 foal crop. The first digital certificate was issued to a foal born at WinStar Farm on Feb. 19, 2018, by Pioneerof the Nile out of Mildly Offensive, later named Chiu Chow Warrior.

To manage digital certificates, those who act as agents for Thoroughbreds should sign up for an Interactive Registration account at registry.jockeyclub.com.

Colonial: Fev Rover, Didia Vie for Favoritism In Beverly D.

Seven fillies and mares will go to post in the Grade 1, $500,000 Beverly D. Stakes on Saturday at Colonial Downs. This year's 33rd running of the Beverly D. will mark the first time the race has been run in Virginia. The 1 3/16-mile test over the outer turf is carded as the ninth race of 11 on Saturday with a first post of 1:30 p.m. EDT. Post time for the Beverly D. is 5:55 p.m.

The Beverly D. is a Breeders' Cup Challenge “Win and You're In” race for the 2023 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf to be held this November at Santa Anita Park, and is joined on Saturday's spectacular card by the G1 Arlington Million for older horses and the G2 $500,000 Secretariat Stakes for 3-year-olds. With $2 million on the line in stakes purses alone, Saturday promises to be the richest day of horse racing in Virginia history.

Tracy Farmer's Fev Rover has been made the 2-1 morning line favorite and will start from the rail. The 5-year-old Irish-bred made her U.S. debut last month in the G1 Diana at Saratoga, finishing third, beaten just half a length. She was a Group 2 winner in France and has won a pair of graded stakes events at Woodbine including this year's Grade 2 Nassau Stakes. Javier Castellano rides the daughter of Gutaifan for trainer Mark Casse.

The Argentine-bred Merribelle Stable's Didia, the 3-1 second choice, is the only horse in the field who has run at Colonial Downs previously. Last season, she made her U.S. debut over the local lawn winning an allowance event before following that with a score in the $150,000 Old Nelson Stakes here in New Kent. Since then she was second in the G1 New York Stakes at Belmont Park last time out. Before that, she added the G3 Modesty at Churchill Downs to her resume. The Modesty served as the local prep for the Beverly D. when both races were run in Chicago. No distaffer has captured both races. Victor Cheminaud has the mount and the pair will leave the gate from post 5.

Four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown has won the Beverly D. six times over his career and will send out a pair of Peter Brant-owned runners in search of lucky number seven. Gina Romantica (5-1, post 6) took the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Keeneland last fall to close out her 3-year-old campaign. She made her 4-year-old debut at Monmouth Park last month in the Eatontown finishing fourth, beaten just a length and a quarter. Brown will also saddle graded stakes winner Rocky Sky (6-1) who will start from the outside post 7. Flavien Prat gets the call aboard the former while Tyler Gaffalione gets a leg up astride the latter.

Eric Jensen's Jan's Girls (Antonio Gallardo, post 2, 12-1), Romagna Mia (John Velazquez, post 3, 4-1), and Qatar Racing LLC and Racehorse Club's Mise En Scene (Jamie Spencer, post 4, 8-1) complete the field.
